The Backpack Project Inc

The Backpack Project, Inc. (TBP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Athens, Georgia. Operated entirely by undergraduates at the University of Georgia, TBP is dedicated to alleviating homelessness through direct service. With a team of 33 employees, the organization has a strong presence in the community. TBP assembles backpacks filled with essential items such as food, clothing, and toiletries. These backpacks are then hand-delivered to individuals experiencing homelessness in Atlanta, Athens, and Augusta, Georgia. The organization's unique approach involves packing over 40 supplies into each backpack, ensuring a comprehensive and impactful aid package. TBP's model enables them to provide these essential needs at a remarkably low cost, with each backpack costing less than $20. This affordability allows even small contributions to make a significant difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness.
